I see someone on here likes Congressman Aaron Schock of the 18th district of Illinois. I think he will be a frontrunner in the 2020 election. (He is only 27)
My "dark horses" are
1. John Thune; Junior Senator from South Dakota
2. Sam Brownback; Current Senator and candidate for Kansas governor
Finally! A blue avatar from Indiana. Welcome to the forum, fellow Hoosier.
I don't consider Thune a dark horse...I consider him a serious contender. And you know, Brownback may well re-emerge. He is a guy with too much potential to retire from public life at this early stage. I don't like or agree with either of them, but they are fairly sharp guys.
(My money's still on Pence.)
I've been on this site for a while, just never ventured to this section.
Yeah, I guess you are right. But he isn't one of the Top 5.
Brownback is seeking the Republican party nomination for Kansas governor. He isn't retiring.
Congressman Pence is pretty cool, but I don't see him making the national scene soon. He may challenge Skillman (Will she run?) for governor in 4 years.
My Congressman is Ellsworth. He only got re-elected thanks to a poor challenger in a Democrat year. Once there is a Republican year and we put someone decent up, he is out.
